Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected later this afternoon and
evening. There is a marginal risk that storms may be severe, mainly for the
Greater Capital District and points north and west. The main threat with
any storms will be damaging wind gusts. Hail is also possible. In addition,
storms may produce locally heavy downpours, which may cause flooding of
urban, poor drainage and low lying areas.

There is a chance of thunderstorms each day through Thursday, mainly during
the afternoon and evening hours. Any thunderstorm will also be capable of
locally heavy rainfall which may lead to water ponding on roadways and poor
drainage flooding in low lying areas.

Heat advisories may be needed in the Hudson River Valley Monday and
Tuesday.

Please see the attached severe weather outlook graphic for today.
